Without further ado, let’s walk through the major highlights from the serial.

Kumkum Bhagya began with the story of two sisters Pragya Arora and Bulbul Arora and their mother Sarla. Sarla Arora runs a marriage hall by the name Kumkum Bhagya. Enter rockstar Abhishek ‘Abhi’ Mehra. Pragya’s sister Bulbul and Abhishek’s music handler-cum-best friend Purab Khanna fall in love. But Abhi’s sister Aliya loves Purab. Without asking Purab, Abhi assumed that Purab loves Pragya and decides to marry her.

As Abhi and Pragya begin to grow closer, the former’s girlfriend and supermodel Tanushree aka Tanu gets jealous. She fakes a pregnancy, but the unborn baby is actually Nikhil’s child with whom Tanu had a one-night stand. But before Pragya could reveal the truth to Abhi, she meets with an accident and is declared dead.

The show took its first leap, of two months, and it is revealed that Pragya is actually alive. She decides to take revenge from her haters by becoming the owner of Abhi’s business. Meanwhile, a jealous Aliya attacks Pragya but her sister Bulbul sacrifices her life to save Pragya.

The season ends with Pragya exposing Tanu and winning Abhi’s trust again. Abhi and Pragya confess their love for each other. However, Abhi gets in an accident and loses his memory. He forgets everything that has happened in the past 2.5 years including Pragya. Thus, to protect Abhi, Pragya walks out of his life but doesn’t divorce him.

Two months after leaving Abhi, Pragya starts working at the Love Life Music Company. She meets Abhishek again. However, taking advantage of Abhi’s memory loss, his sister Aliya decides to get him married to Tanu. However, Nikhil kidnaps Pragya and Abhi leaves the rituals to rescue her.

Abhi regains his memory but he soon loses Pragya for she is shot by the goons and falls into the dam.

Weeks after Pragya has been shot, Abhi meets her lookalike named Munni. He takes her home where Aliya blackmails Munni to side with them. Meanwhile, Pragya, who is alive, comes out of coma and swaps places with Munni.

On the other hand, Purab and Disha’s love story begins to bloom. She proposes to him and he decides to move on from Bulbul and give their marriage a chance!

Enter another villain Simonika, Abhi’s secretary. She plans to take her revenge for he has killed her husband Dushyant. In a barter, Tanu asks Simonika to spare Abhi and kill Pragya instead. However, Simonika ends up murdering Dadi who reaches the factory before Pragya to save her life.

Both Abhi and Aliya blame Pragya for Dadi’s death. Abhi asks Pragya to leave, thus, a heart-broken and grief-stricken Pragya is shown attempting suicide by jumping off a cliff.

Kumkum Bhagya took a seven-year leap last year. The jump changed all the dynamics shared by the Abhi, Pragya and their families. Abhi is now married to Tanu, while Pragya is living in the United Kingdom with King Singh, a London-based rapper. She also has a daughter from Abhi, named Kiara. Abhi and Pragya both still believe the latter is responsible for Dadi’s death.

As destiny would have it, both Abhi and King are offered a world music album and thus, the latter flies to India with Pragya and Kiara.

Kiara and Abhishek meet in Delhi, where the Mehra family now lives, and become good friends. Hence, when Kiara is admitted to a hospital following an accident, Abhi visits her only to find out that she is actually his daughter.

However, Purab and Disha suggest Abhi get a DNA test done. Reports come positive and Abhi finds out that Kiara is his child.

Abhi comes to know that King and Pragya are not married for real. He then decides to remarry Pragya. To drive a wedge between Abhi and Pragya, Tanu tells the latter that Abhishek only wants to marry her to get Kiara. This angers Pragya and she reprimands Abhi. The two, however, get stuck in a mall which has been held captive by a group of terrorists.

Abhi tells Pragya the truth about his fake marriage with Tanu and she agrees to marry him again. However, a jealous King, who is in love with Pragya, deliberately tries to end her and his own life. But surviving all the odds, Abhi and Pragya finally get married. 

Two months after their reunion, Abhi and Pragya are expecting twins. A jealous Tanu tries to kill Pragya and her unborn babies, but Abhi and Aliya kick her out of the house. King too realises his mistake and decides to protect Pragya from Tanu.

Tanu hatches a plan with Nikhil to seen revenge from Abhi and Pragya. Nikhil later joins hands with King and kidnaps Kiara. However, in an unfortunate turn of events, Kiara dies. Her death leads to Abhi and Pragya’s separation, both keep one of the twin daughters each.

Kumkum Bhagya took a two-decade leap in March 2019. Post the generation leap, the show introduced Abhi and Pragya’s twin daughter Prachi and Rhea. Pragya raises Prachi in Hoshiyarpur, Punjab while Rhea grows up with Abhi in Delhi. The two sisters are poles apart and end up in the same college.

Since day one, both Rhea and Prachi become sworn enemies and hate each other.

Abhi and Pragya come face-to-face after 20 long years! Even when apart, the couple yearns for each other’s love and company. However, Pragya cuts the emotional meeting short and leaves. Nonetheless, the lovebirds still hope to meet each other again and going by the current track, looks like it shall happen very soon!

Meanwhile, Prachi has grown fond of Abhi and calls her ‘Papa’ while Rhea shares a close bond with Pragya, But will they find out the truth? Stay tuned to find out!
